The last 2 year ticks for the park and the steady increases and additions all month have put August onto an equal 2nd place of all Augusts...at 97 species (made just last year) and with 99 being the record (in 2013) it seems very likely we will reach 100, or more.
Most likely candidates to come are;
Garganey - Lots of August records
Pintail - Frequent August records
Osprey - Frequent August records
Marsh Harrier - A number of August records
Water Rail - which may have already been heard
Dunlin - Numerous August records, although more early in the month
Ruff - 3 August records, 2 in recent years
Curlew - Numerous August records
Spotted Redshank - 6 August records
Wood Sandpiper - The weather we having now is good for this species
Tree Pipit - Always possible
Redstart - 3 out of previous 4 Augusts
Whinchat - Highly possible
Wheatear - Highly possible
There are plenty of wildcard possibilities too.
Keep them peeled guys and girls
With multiple Greenshank thru Farmoor this morning, I'd be happy to get call later today saying one is on LFGP.
Did I say the Black Tern appears to have gone today.
